Mikawa Konro Grill Starter Set - 38cm - Red

This starter set provides all the essentials for an authentic Japanese tabletop barbecue, sized for groups of 4–6 people, so you can start grilling straight out of the box.

The centrepiece is the rectangular Mikawa Konro — often known as a hibachi grill in Australia. Its red steel case with reinforced corners protects a thick moulded diatomite interior — the same insulating material as the premium cut-block Kinka Okunoto, housed in a tougher, more affordable form. The diatomite directs heat up to the cooking surface, so charcoal burns consistently and efficiently.

What's in the Starter Set

 

Key Features

  • All-In-One Barbecue Kit: Includes everything required to begin grilling immediately — refills and regional varieties are available in our binchotan collection.
  • Excellent Heat Performance: The natural diatomite interior provides exceptional insulation, allowing the included binchotan charcoal to burn hotter and more efficiently.
  • Durable & Stable Design: Features a protective red steel exterior with reinforced metal corners and includes a wooden base for safe tabletop use.
  • Ideal for Yakitori: The long, rectangular shape is designed specifically for skewers, supported by the 15 included stainless steel skewers.

Safe Use & Care

Important: This is a charcoal grill for outdoor use only. The grill body becomes extremely hot during use — always place it on the included wooden base and handle with heat-resistant mitts.

Setup:

  1. Place the grill on its wooden base on a stable, heat-proof surface outdoors.
  2. Light your binchotan outdoors and transfer it into the grill once covered in grey ash — around 1kg per session is typical for this size.
  3. Set the mesh on top and start grilling.

After Grilling:

Never use water to extinguish hot charcoal. Let it burn out completely or transfer it to a dedicated charcoal extinguisher pot. Empty ash only when the grill is completely cold, and never wash the diatomite interior with water.

A Note on Natural Materials

This grill is manufactured with a natural diatomite mud interior. Minor cosmetic imperfections, such as small chips, hairline cracks, or an uneven texture on the interior clay, are a normal characteristic of this handcrafted material. These do not affect the grill's performance or safety.

  • Lighting binchotan: Dense white charcoal takes longer to light than regular charcoal — our guide shows the safe way.
  • Ventilation: Use your konro outdoors or in a well-ventilated space only — never in an enclosed room.
